“My family and I were heartbroken over the news, but we decided we wanted to try and make the last part of his life the best we could,” he wrote. “Everyday since we found out, we’ve gotten him a plain cheeseburger to eat with his many medications to make it easier and more enjoyable for him.”

Then on Sunday, when Karcher visited a Burger King on Alexis Road to get Cody’s burger, an employee politely asked why he was getting a plain burger — and he told her why. The Burger King employee left to speak with her manager, who said Cody could eat cheeseburgers for free at their location, according to Karcher.

“I can’t explain how much that means to us, and my family and I are beyond appreciative,” Karcher wrote, adding the employees at the location are “the best around.”
